I'm off!
Well folks, I'm off on holiday for a few weeks! Hope I've generally been of help since I joined (excluding the odd drunken rant!) but if I haven't, please feel free to voice your opinion here. When I return I'll therefore know whether to continue or take my sorry ass off somewhere else... 
Hi,
Wonder if he's gone 'across the pond' to personally import cheap HDDVD's??
Enjoy prof
Cheers,
Cofnchtr.
Nice idea, Cofnchtr, unfortunately I went to Oz for 3 weeks and found that Blu-Rays cost more there than they do here (generally) so couldn't even take advantage of them being in the same region as us!
Welcome back!
Thanks very much, Clare!
I should point out, I use the word "unfortunately" above in that Blu-Rays were more expensive, not that I went to Oz - had a fantastic time visiting me bro, though the spend has now put back my plans to upgrade my surround receiver 
Both you and your apologetic donkey will be missed, prof! Have a good one and see you soon.
